The last few days

The last few days have been non stop!
Pine Top horse trials started sat and sun at 430 and 530 am.
After competition, the other horses needed to be ridden, evening chores, and at some point we tried to eat and shower!
Today and Yesterday have been raining. Everything continues on as usual, it just takes longer and is ridiculously dirty!
Ava cross country schooled. Girlfriend has a new reason to live! She was amazing, brave as a lion, and definitely requires a running martingale! Ava is a dream and has the heart of an upperlevel horse for sure!
Duncan has flatted, and done a little xc. Duncan continues to find amazing ways of reaching the hay stacked near his stall.
Duncan does give his all under saddle every day though so his"man" tendencies are easy to overlook.
This week we are going to work on continuing to soften and use Duncans back in both the flat work and show jumping. This weekend he will do a full Xc school.

Fiesta is working on moving forward off my leg whenever my leg asks. Even if there is something interesting/scarey/distracting/ whatever.
She did her first xc school and acted cool as a cucumber. Such a mix of different things make up this horse. I do love her but sometimes when I flat her I find my self counting to ten to stay calm. She is relentless at trying to not use herself. Relentless. Re-lent-less. She would be that super athletic kid  in school that was also ridiculously beautiful but has a donut eating problem.
Beast and Callie had a light day after being stars at Pine top.
Dave and Maggie are both sick and it's so hard not to be there to help them.
They are coming this weekend and I am desperate to see my little one.

I have Ava competing on Friday at Paradise and then will spend the weekend with Dave, Maggie, Melissa and her mom!

Back to work!
